QUESTIONing Assumptions


Moving On: 
Dead love needn't skulk 
Through pain and silent contempt 
Sometimes it just fades

Making Amends: 
We went separate ways 
Not to the ends of the earth 
I'm still your friend

Single And Happy: 
Where is it written 
We must be in relationship 
To be happy?

The Work Week: 
The hamster wheel calls: 
Wealth is the destination, 
Employment the path

Dating: 
Dinner was lovely 
The wine intoxicating 
No, you cannot stay

Waiting Till It's Right: 
When the balance 
No longer tips and we are equal 
You may come in

Gun Shy:
My life is my own
I do not need another. 
Stop smiling at me!

True Friends: 
Rise to the next level 
Of your life and look around -
These are your friends

Responsibility: 
Take care of your own 
Business - no one was born to 
Do the work for you

Friendship: 
Abundant joy rises within
Share the love you have earned 
With others
